Investigating outgoing spam issues on Plesk servers

Use the modified qmHandle's qmHandle -tt to see the top senders/recipients. Look at one of the spam messages and look at the Received line, which will either show you a UID or received from network.

If it shows you a UID, then the spam is coming from a compromised script.
